Nelson
had completed 16,000 miles between 2002 and 2005 in this beemer. A very refined motor with
pleasing lines. Relaxing to drive and sporty when in the mood, which
you're hardly ever are, because it's so relaxing. Surprisingly, she handles
and brakes rather well. This is brought home to you when borrowing
cars. You bowl into a bend at what seems quite a modest speed and a
lesser vehicle almost lands you in a ditch. Conversely, the beemer
quietly eats up corners and gobbles up distances where other cars would
leave you aching. The lights are excellent too, so night driving is
also a pleasure.

Nelson's 5 Series BMW

As
for economy: She required a set of brake pads and an oil change last
year - Nelson checked the valve clearances more to admire the lump - he prefer to do servicing
himself where time allows. A quality build
keeps rust at bay and the silky smooth six cylinder engine is good for a quarter
million miles if looked after. Nelson recommends a quality oil such as
Castrol Magnatec and Slick 50, a teflon based friction reducing additive. That way you don't feel so bad
when occasionally red-lining your baby to see off a boy racer - sorry
officer - but really.

BMW
525 superb handling

For
last years MOT, new front shock absorbers were fitted, new front discs,
tyres and flexible hoses. This year saw new handbrake cables, shoes,
rear discs, calipers and shocks at the recommendation of Eastbourne Bus
Depot MOT
testers. Thanks chaps. Hopefully, this will keep the car purring
along until next year. The local BMW dealers, Chandlers, Hailsham,
East Sussex, are also very helpful when it comes to parts.

This
vehicle is testament to the build quality and reliability you might
expect from a new BMW. See the links below for information of current
models. Happy motoring.
